These are not album sales. It is just a statistic on boy group brand reputation (that is how is roughly translated) and it counts for example their activity on social media and so on

[snsdreceipts]

I think these are just online trends/popularity? Nothing to do with album sales. 

 

It would be amazing, but we're never going to see a KPOP group sell this much unless Korea takes over the world.

It's not a list of popularity or online trend. It's a monthly rank about boy group's marketability.

 

"Boy Group Brand Power Ranking published by Korean Corporate Reputation Research Centre. Basically they publish brand power index each month which represents the 'marketability' of idol groups in Korean commercial advertisement industry."

 

This research was conducted by the Korean Corporate Reputation Institute, who based their measurements on three indexes: participation, communication, and brand reputation (my translation may be messy but this is what I can gather). They analyzed both big data (huge volumes of data) and keywords (I'm guessing the brand's relevant keywords' search volume) in order to measure the interest and traffic generated by a group's fanbase and how significant of an impact it made on the brand. They measured data from the time period of February 11th - March 12th. As a general note, the research conducted seems to focus primarily on the behavior of online consumers.

 

Remember, this is not about a group's general popularity. This is basically about how much impact a boy group's endorsement has had on a brand during the allotted time period.

 

 

BTS has been topping this ranking since December of last year, 6 months straight now with May incluided now.

 

Some articles and threads about it.
